[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [Aspuru-meetings-list] group meeting this Friday: Stéphanie Valleau

by Ryan Babbush

Hi Everyone, This Friday at 3pm in the Division Room, Stéphanie will be giving group meeting on some of her recent results. An abstract and title for the talk is included below. Classical excursions into the world of the Chlorosome antenna complex The chlorosome antenna complex, as found, e.g. in green sulfur bacteria, is thought to be amongst the most efficient natural light harvesting complexes on earth. In this group meeting, I will talk about an ongoing study on the classical electromagnetic properties of these antennae complexes. After a brief description of the formalism I will show some numerical results. In the second part I will discuss/compare classical and quantum methods which can be employed to describe the optical properties ( linear absorption / circular dichroism / molar rotation) in this type of system and show some results for the model structure. This work is in collaboration with the Mosallaei group at Northeastern University. -- Ryan Babbush | PhD Student in Physics (949) 331-3943 | babbush(a)fas.harvard.edu Harvard University | Aspuru-Guzik Group 12 Oxford Street | Cambridge, MA 02138 _______________________________________________ Aspuru-meetings-list mailing list Aspuru-meetings-list(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/aspuru-meetings-list

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] society memberships

by Laszlo Seress

Hi group, I have a question about society memberships. My free trial student year as an APS member will expire in a month and I wondering the following: a) is it worth continuing to be a member (paying yearly dues)? b) if yes, is it worth buying the life membership (right now it's like 2055, which is 15x the annual adult membership rate). c) (do grants/fellowships/etc. pay membership dues?) Thanks, Laszlo -- Laszlo Ryan Seress Harvard University '14 A.M. Degree Candidate in Chemistry A.B.

by Dmitry Zubarev

Good people of the AAGG, I made another step into my early late 30ies. There will be no cake on this occasion. Comforting beverages, however, are served through the day in Siberia. So don't be strangers, stop by. Dmitry

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fwd: Journal of Chemical Physics Invitation to Contribute to a Special Issue on Advances in DFT Methodology

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group members, I just accepted this invitation. If anybody is interested in submitting a DFT-related paper on methodology by November for this special issue (see below) please contact me. Alan Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology | Harvard University 12 Oxford Street, Room M113 | Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-384-8188 | http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: The Journal of Chemical Physics <AsstEditor-jcp(a)chem.upenn.edu> Date: Mon, Jun 3, 2013 at 8:45 AM Subject: Journal of Chemical Physics Invitation to Contribute to a Special Issue on Advances in DFT Methodology To: aspuru(a)chemistry.harvard.edu Dear Alan,**** ** ** A few weeks ago we sent you an invitation to contribute an article to The Journal of Chemical Physics’ upcoming special topic issue on Advances in Density Functional Theory Methodology.**** ** ** We hope that you will be able to contribute and we would greatly appreciate it if you would reply soon.**** ** ** Best regards,**** ** ** David Sherrill & Angelos Michaelides – Associate Editors**** Russell Boyd & Weitao Yang – Guest Editors**** ** ** ** ** **** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **** ** ** **** ** ** May 20, 2013 ** ** Dear Alan, ** ** *The Journal of Chemical Physics* is organizing a Special Topic Issue on Advances in Density Functional Theory Methodology to be published in Spring 2014. Weitao Yang and Russell Boyd are serving as Guest Editors, with help from Associate Editors David Sherrill and Angelos Michaelides. Special Topic Sections of *The Journal of Chemical Physics* have been published in the past, see http://jcp.aip.org/about/special_topics_section, and will become a more frequent feature of the Journal going forward. This Special Topic Issue will lead off with a forward-looking Perspective article by Axel Becke. ** ** We invite you to write an original research article for this Special Topic Issue on Advances in Density Functional Theory (DFT) Methodology. This Special Topic aims for a timely discussion of modern developments in DFT methodology. ** ** DFT is now the most widely used electronic structure method. In 2012 alone on the order of 10,000 DFT papers were published with wide ranging applications to fundamental and applied problems in chemistry, physics, materials science, and biology. These applications and the widespread uptake of DFT have relied heavily on the continuous development of DFT methodology over the last 3 to 4 decades; developments in algorithms, methodologies, and software have made DFT calculations more accurate and efficient, and have widely extended the range of systems and properties that can be computed. With the current Special Topic Issue, we aim to capture the current state of understanding of DFT and the most exciting recent methodology developments. We also hope that this Special Issue, which will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem, will be a valuable resource to the community that may help to set the stage for future research in this important and thriving field.**** ** ** Only papers specifically on Advances in DFT Methodology will be included in this Special Issue. Papers on other topics, as determined by the editors, will be considered for publication in *The Journal of Chemical Physics* as regular articles following notification of the author(s) and will not be included in this issue. ** ** We encourage you to contribute an original research article to this Special Issue. You are, of course, welcome to have coauthors of the paper. *The deadline for contributions is November 15, 2013*. High-resolution color figures and multimedia content are encouraged. The article will be refereed, but the reviewers will be informed that it is an invited article. Online publication will occur quickly after acceptance, starting in early 2014. ** ** I sincerely hope you will accept this invitation. Please send us your decision by June 15, 2013. ** ** Sincerely yours, ** ** ** ** Marsha I. Lester Editor, *The Journal of Chemical Physics* jcp-edoffice(a)aip.org (516) 576-2326
